planning, surveying and other services for about 1.7 billion euros, which represents
about one-third of Finland’s infrastructure field.

amounting to almost 19.2 billion euros.t Agency is responsible for transport
infrastructure assets amounting to nearly 19.2 billion euros
• The annual budget (gross) is about 1.8 billion euros, of which:
• 1,020 million euros for basic transport infrastructure management

The Ring Rail Line connects the traffic in the
metropolitan area
● The Ring Rail Line
 provides an option to take the train to new areas and
connections. Daytime trains will run at 10-minute
intervals in both directions
 reduces motor vehicle traffic along with environmental
impact
• The starting point of the station arrangements is easy
mobility, smooth feeder traffic and short changing times.
 park-and-ride facilities in the immediate vicinity of the
stations
 bus terminals at the stations in Vantaankoski and Kivistö
● The Ring Rail Line provides a direct railway connection to
the airport
 urban railway line to the international airport, the travel
time to the airport is 30 minutes from the centre of
Helsinki

The Ring Rail Line creates something new
● The Ring Rail Line is an urban railway line
creating opportunities for new residential and
job areas.
 The Ring Rail creates opportunities for new
residential areas in its area of influence. In the
initial phase 5 new stations will be built along
the railway.
 It also creates thousands of new job
opportunities. At present about 850 persons are
working on the Ring Rail Line project.
 The first underground railway stations in Finland
are built on the Ring Rail Line and its 8-
kilometre twin tunnel for passenger traffic is
unique.

MICROBE POPULATION IN RING RAIL LINE
AIRPORT TUNNEL
● A microbe population was found during
tunnelling under the eastern runway at
Helsinki-Vantaa Airport in summer
2010.
● The population consists of normal soil
bacteria whose growth has been
stimulated by glycol and other
substances that have seeped into the
ground from the runway. Glycol is used
to de-ice aircraft.
● Work was stopped from 30 September
to 12 October 2010.

● - In February 2011 VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland completed a study
concerning the effects of glycol seepage on concrete and steel structures. The study
showed that seepage will reduce the service life of tunnel structures.
● - When glycol breaks down, it forms acidic by-products and carbon dioxide, which
have a corrosive effect on the tunnel and its walls as well as structures extending into
the bedrock.
● - When bacteria nourished by glycol seep into the tunnel and come in contact with
oxygen, it speeds up the growth of bacteria. The resulting glycol breakdown products
form a harmful chemical environment for steel and concrete materials.
● - Research indicates that in the case of the Ring Rail Line tunnel the chemical
environment would cause steel and concrete materials to deteriorate. Deterioration
would be rapid, and an acceptable service life (50-100 years) could not be achieved
with ordinary solutions.
● - The Finnish Transport Agency received seven solutions, presented on 10 May 2011,
to prevent deterioration.
● The solution is double structure; first larger rock tunnel and inside concrete tunnel.
Between them is airproof and underinflated space where the water is collected
● Extra costs are about 50 M€:s, State and Fianavia Ltd

Pasila western additional track
Objectives
● To increase capacity in the
Helsinki-Riihimäki direction
● To increase the capacity of
Pasila railway yard
● Less vulnerability to traffic
disturbances in local and long-
distance traffic
● Better punctuality
29.4.2014 KR 24
Planning area situated directly north of the Helsinki railway yard, at the Pasila
railway yard, where there are now 9 platform lines and 2 yard tracks.
● An additional track will be built on the western edge of the Pasila railway yard.
The length of the track is 1.5 km and the section includes several bridges.
● The new track runs through the present station building.
● The turnouts and the functionality of the railway yard will be altered so that the
number of tracks in the Helsinki-Turku direction will remain the same (4). The
tracks in the Helsinki-Riihimäki direction will increase by one, amounting to a
total of 6 tracks and 2 yard tracks.

Improving the efficiency of the Helsinki railway yard, HELRA
● Preliminary report on the transport and track schematic model presented:
● The best out of four alternative schematic models chosen for further development,
on the basis of traffic and disturbance simulations
● HELRA measures
● Efficiency of the tracks at the Helsinki railway yard will be improved by adding more
turnouts and groups of scissor crossings
● Signalling stages are added to the urban railway line between Helsinki and Pasila
● By reducing the speed limit 80 km/h60 km/h more capacity would be added to Pasila
● Cost 56 M€
● Replacement of the signal box later (after 10-15 years), 86 M€ (Year 2018)
29.4.2014 KR 25
Objectives
• To increase rail capacity
• Reduce vulnerability to
traffic disturbances

Improving the efficiency of the Helsinki railway yard, HELRA
● Planning continues
● Improvement planning in 2014
● Impact of simulated speeds of 60-70-80 km/h on safety and functionality studied
through risk management
● Detailed planning of track geometry
● Detailed planning of safety devices for later procurement
● Construction planning in 2015-2016
● Implementation in stages in 2016-2019

29.4.2014 KR 27

● Project schedule and costs
● Railway plan for the first phase to be completed in April 2014;
construction planning and construction will commence in 2015
● Cost estimate 150 million €
● General plan for the second phase will commence in June 2014
● Cost estimate 200 million €
● Project impact
● Number of commuter trains can be increased between Helsinki and
Riihimäki
● Reduced risk of traffic disturbances and improved punctuality
● Smoother operation of long-distance trains
● Separation of slow freight traffic from fast passenger traffic increases
track capacity and enables less strict freight traffic scheduling
● On the section north of Pasila the project increases the capacity required
in order to draw benefits from the City Rail Loop project.
29.4.2014 KR 28

● The project has been divided into two phases
● First implementation phase:

track.
● Additional track between Kyrölä and Purola
● Turnout arrangements at Hyvinkää
● Track, turnout and platform alterations at the Riihimäki passenger yard
